10 lapel pins on Etsy that your denim jacket needs

As winter has turned to spring, I’ve traded my big fluffy parka in and transitioned over to my vast collection of denim jackets. I’ve also decided that my denim needs a little dressing up — which means I’ve decided to up my flair game. I have gotten a few sew-on patches for some of my jackets, but one of these jackets is my dad’s from the ’70s, and I just can’t bring myself to alter it permanently. For pieces like my dad’s vintage Levi’s that I want to decorate but still preserve, I realized there’s only one answer — lapel pins. Once I came to this conclusion, I knew there was only one place to turn: Etsy.

There I was — just a girl, sitting in front of the internet in my underwear, asking for some adornment to my denim that would let the world know I mean business (but also, that I’m like, pretty fun to hang out with, y’know?). The Etsy goddesses have answered my prayers, and my jacket is now uniquely mine. I have more lapel pins in my “faves” on Etsy than I can even fit on one jacket, so here I am, sharing the bounty of goodness with all of you.
